Title: Integrated Platform for R&D
Information
Systems: A Canadian Experience
Abstract: The
“knowledge
Economy” is the objective that many countries around the world are
targeting
in their strategic planning, it is meant to enable social and
economical
development. For many economists, it is also the sophisticated economy
that
balances out the dependency on basic commodities as natural resources.
Research
is the key to creating a “Knowledge Economy”; more and more public and
private
money goes into funding research around the world. On the other hand,
governments
and industries are more and more eager to put their hands on practical
research
results to be applied to solve the ever growing complexity of society
issues
and needs. This makes Researchers and Research Administrators more
accountable.
Our target in this paper is to explain how we see the Research
Administration
Process evolving, and how the Information Technology solutions can help
streamlining
and standardizing this process.
